The determination method was as follows: Corn leaves were cut into 2 cm long segments; the pressure of Airbrush spraying was 10 psi (about 0.7 kg/cm²); both sides of each leaf segment were sprayed with 0.5 mL of the compound solution to be tested. After drying in the shade, ten 3^(nd) instar larvae were inoculated for each treatment, and each treatment was replicated 3 times. After treatment, they were cultured in an observation room at a temperature of 25° C. and a relative humidity of 60-70%, and the number of surviving insects was examined and the mortality was calculated three days after administration.

Some test results against Leucania separata were as follows:

At the dose of 0.05 mg/L, the lethality rates of Compounds 1, 2, 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, 31, 33, and 34 to Leucania separata were all above 90% three days after administration.

(3) Determination of the Insecticidal Activity Against Chilo Suppressalis

The determination method was as follows: 1) Preparation of rice seedlings: rice plants were cultivated in a plastic cup with a diameter of 4.5 cm and a height of 4 cm in a thermostatic chamber (temperature 26-28° C., relative humidity 60-80%, illumination 16 hL: 8 hD), and when the rice plants were developed to have 4-5 leaves, strong seedlings with identical growth vigour were selected for chemical treatment, and each treatment was replicated 3 times. 2) Preparation of insects to be tested: Chilo suppressalis, 3rd instar larvae, continuous lab rearing. 3) Inoculation of insects by spraying rice plant stems: The whole rice seedlings were sprayed evenly by using the spraying method, with 15 mL of the compound solution for each treatment. Firstly, the blank control was treated, and then the above procedure was replicated according to the order of test concentration from low to high. After rice seedlings were spray-treated, they were placed in the shade to dry, and the stems about 5 cm from the stem bases were cut off to feed the insects to be tested. Glass culture dishes with a diameter of 90 mm were prepared; each dish was padded with a filter paper at the bottom and added with water to keep moisture; about 5 rice stems were put into each dish and inoculated with 10 larvae, and each culture dish was then sealed with a non-woven and cultured in a thermostatic chamber. The number of residual live insects was examined 3 days after administration.

Some test results against Chilo suppressalis were as follows:

At the dose of 1 mg/L, the lethality rates of Compounds 1, 2, 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, 31, 33, and 34 to Chilo suppressalis were all above 90%.
